Welcome to the ABCD Distinguished Lecture Series
ABCD welcomes you to the 2021 Distinguished Lecture Series featuring seminars from outstanding speakers covering different fields of Cellular and Developmental Biology.
We are sure that this resource will represent a unique opportunity to foster ideas and discussions in our laboratories, based on the exciting updated knowledge herein presented.
We are grateful to all the scientists that donated their time and efforts to make this possible by sharing their science with us.
We hope that you will enjoy this event, waiting to meet all of you in person at the ABCD National Conference in 2022.
